Hi, recently AMD submitted in LKML patches for cutting-edge processors Strix Halo, to bring up webcam to work.
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250828100811.95722-1-Bin.Du@amd.com/
I’ve made it in a more convenient format GitHub - iglooom/AMD-ISP4-kernel-patches
Some folks have already tested, and the webcam finally works on our laptops.
Unfortunately, this patch will only be included in the next mainline 6.18 release. Can we add it to the Manjaro 6.17 kernel, as it works perfectly already?
Lets see if we get lucky on this one as well:
I’ve not tested on 6.16 yet, but I’ll try.
We might know when the run is finished: Build Kernel and Bump Modules · manjaro-kernels/linux616@97a7b36 · GitHub
Currently uploading the linux-firmware packages to the unstable branch. And the upcoming linux617 6.17.0rc4-1 package should include the patch as well.
And another trick, I’m not familiar with mkinitcpio, but currently it is not included
/usr/lib/firmware/amdgpu/isp_4_1_1.bin.xz by default, however, other amdgpu firmwares present in lsinitcpio list.
So for correct work, I need to add this particular firmware to /etc/mkinitcpio.conf FILES array.
It seems to be AMD’s fault of some sort. Firmware should be listed in a kernel module, but modinfo amdgpu tells nothing about isp_4_1_1.bin firmware.
You can write the Author of the patch an email about your finding. Also CC Mario from AMD on your email. Best to answer in the mailing list you originally found the patch series as a feedback. You can also add a Tested-by: Your Name <your@email> to the series.
Seems 6.16 series won’t happen for now …
linux617 6.17.0-rc3-5 ships now the new feature. Give it a test @GloooM
Checked. Works perfectly. Thank you!
Nice! Does this work out of the box or do you need a patched libcamera or other library for this to work?
Almost out of the box. Only the correct firmware needs to be included in initramfs.
In my case, I added FILES=("/usr/lib/firmware/amdgpu/isp_4_1_1.bin.xz") in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf and ran mkinitcpio -P
It works in Firefox, Chrome, VLC without any additional libraries.
Original developer of this patch confirmed that the firmware situation would be fixed.
